If you can't prove something, even informally, you aren't doing math. Memorizing and applying magic formulas (especially in "math" and physics classes) is a big problem with the curriculum.

I suppose you could switch Probability & Statistics to "Just Enough Calculus" & Statistics to make it a less religious experience... but that also sort of defeats the "nobody really uses Calculus" mentality.
